My understanding is "FU money" doesn't mean you don't work again: it means you can quit a job you don't care for, and not worry about finances before finding a new job.

And that's what I'd recommend. Nobody knows what the future will hold so I'd be a bit worried relying on money I've already saved up for the rest of my life. Plus, not working may cause stagnation and motivation issues. But you seem to have enough money where you can push back on your company without worrying about being fired, and search for an easier, more flexible job even if it pays less.

FU money definitely used to mean "I can quit and live a great lifestyle", not "I can quit and maybe find another job" in my circles.
